"This ......"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Sima Yi's face.

He didn't want to disobey Cao Pi's orders, but it was unwise to launch an attack on Sun Quan and Liu Bei at the moment.

The soldiers of the Cao Army stationed in Changsha are almost all descendants of Yang Ling.

Even if they don't rebel, it's quite uneasy for Sima Yi to command.

He has already written to Cao Pi, hoping to transfer generals such as Ban and Zhang He.

In addition, Sima Yi has also recruited tens of thousands of recruits and is training them.

The ordnance that Chen Qun brought this time was to equip the new army.

The army is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome is the current weather.

For some reason, the rainy season, which originally lasted for two or three months, has been stretched to this day.

Not to mention the soaring water level in the Yangtze River basin, flash floods and mudslides have erupted in the surrounding areas, and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate.

In such a situation, Cao Pi asked Sima Yi to take the initiative to attack Jiangxia County, which was really difficult for some strongmen!

But without waiting for Sima Yi to tell the difficulties one by one, Chen Qun said helplessly,

"Zhongda, it's not that Your Majesty is inconsiderate of you, it's just that Your Majesty needs a victory to calm people's hearts, do you understand?"

Not long after Cao Pi became independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty, rebellions broke out in Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou and other places one after another.

Although it was quickly calmed down, the people's hearts were unstable.

A few days ago, because of the matter of the craftsman's workshop, Cao Pi was forced to bow to Yang Ling again.

He ordered Sima Yi to take the initiative to attack, hoping to use a victory to prove that he was right to suppress Yang Ling and to stabilize people's hearts!

"Zhongda, Your Majesty is not easy......"

Chen Qun shook his head and sighed.

Sima Yi couldn't say it now.

Just when the two looked at each other without saying a word, Sima Fu turned back and said with a smile,

"Second brother, brother Changwen, the banquet is ready, let's have dinner!"

The two men immediately stood up and left the tent together.

After being full of wine and food, Chen Qun didn't stay too long, just explained a few words to Sima Yi, and then left in the pouring rain.

Looking at Chen Qun's convoy and his entourage, disappearing into the distance, Sima Yi showed a thoughtful expression.

"Brother Changyou has already gone away, what is the second brother still stunned?"

Sima Fu said suspiciously.

Sima Yi came back to his senses, thought about it, and commanded,

"Go and call Pang Tong and the others to the Chinese army camp!"

"Whoa!"

Sima Fu took the order and left.

In a short time the people gathered together in the great army camp.

"I've seen the general of Zhengnan!"

Sima Yi looked around at everyone present and said lightly,

"General Ben invited you and others today, because he has something to announce."

Everyone didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Sima Yi's next words.

"General Ben plans to launch an attack on Jiangxia County before the end of the month!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in everyone.

No one could have imagined that Sima Yi would brave such a heavy rain to attack the Sun-Liu coalition army.

"In recent days, it has rained heavily, and our army's ordnance has been affected. If we take the initiative to attack, it will be disadvantageous to our army. ”

Pang Tong persuaded in a deep voice.

The roads were muddy, and it was quite difficult for the artillery to move.

Firearms, such as the three-eyed gun, are also affected.

Without these weapons, Cao's army wanted to attack the city, but it was a lot of trouble!

"It's such extreme weather that the thieves can't imagine that we will attack."

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say it anymore."

Sima Yi said with a straight face.

Naturally, he would not tell everyone the reason.

Seeing that Sima Yi was bent on going his own way, although Pang Tong and the others were unwilling, they could only keep silent.

After finishing the discussion, Pang Tong, Ma Chao and others got up and retired.

As soon as he left the camp, Ma Chao couldn't help but complain,

"Isn't this Sima Yi known as being smart and resourceful since he was a child, why is he so brainless?"

"Meng Qi said cautiously!"

Wenpin, who has always been cautious, hurriedly stopped Ma Chao.

He looked around and whispered,

"If you let the general of Zhengnan know, I'm afraid I will be unhappy......"

"What's the matter if you're not happy, can he still kill me?"

Ma Chao complained dissatisfied.

As the generals spoke, they came to Pang Tong's tent.

After taking a seat, Wei Yan also expressed his dissatisfaction.

"This Sima Yi, since he came, has suppressed us everywhere, which is really hateful!"

After Sima Yi took over the army, he first dismissed Pang Tong from his post as military division, and then transferred Gao Rou, Jiang Jian and others from key positions.

In addition, he also reduced the army in the hands of Ma Chao and Wei Yan.

In addition to their own battalion of soldiers, the generals have no other soldiers and horses to deploy!

"This person and His Majesty are of the same mind, so naturally they will not reuse us."

Pang Tong was not too angry, and his face was quite indifferent.

"He insists on attacking Jiangxia, I'm afraid that he will be defeated, don't we really persuade him?"

Wen Ping hesitated.

"What's there to advise? He wants to die, and no one can stop him! ”

Gan Ning smiled disdainfully,

"I don't care what you think, anyway, I don't plan to stay any longer, it's a waste of time with Sima Yi!"

"I'll apply tomorrow and return to the water village in Xiakou!"

When Gan Ning said this, it gave everyone a start.

"I'm going to apply too!"

"And me!"

Ma Chao, Wei Yan and others nodded in agreement.

Rather than being suppressed in Sima Yi's army, it is better to return to Jiangling and be at ease.

"What are Mr. Shiyuan's plans?"

Gao Rou looked at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong thought about it and nodded,

"You all have to go, it's not interesting for me to stay here, it's better to go back together!"

"But before leaving, we still have to write a letter to the general to explain the situation."

……

A few days later, Xu Ducheng.

It was the crisp autumn weather, and Yang Ling took a group of wives and concubines to the autumn tour outside the city.

He sat in the pavilion with Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai to drink.

Cao Qing and the rest of the sisters, with a few children of Yang Ling, played on the grass not far away.

Farther away, Zhou Cang patrolled with hundreds of personal soldiers to avoid accidents.

"By the way, eldest brother, since you returned to Xu Du, why haven't you seen Brother Xing Daorong?"

Dian Wei said suspiciously.

When Yang Ling left Jingzhou, Xing Daorong walked all the way.

But since returning to Xu Du, Dian Wei and Xu Chu have never seen Xing Daorong again, which can't help but make them a little confused.

"Oh, I have other commands."

Yang Ling smiled and didn't explain much.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, everyone didn't ask.

At this moment, Xu Chu put down his wine glass and suddenly asked,

"Big brother, how do you maintain it? How come I've known you for so long, and you haven't aged at all? ”

"Yes, even Zilong has white hair, why is the eldest brother still the same as a young man?"

Dian Wei looked at Yang Ling in surprise.

Speaking of which, as the eldest brother, Yang Ling is at least forty or fifty years old now.

But he looked as white as jade, and his skin was firm, no different from that of a young man in his early twenties.
